Rate Plausibility of Each Model:• Model A: Climate
change is caused by humans who are releasing gases into the atmosphere
• Model B: Climate change is caused by increasing amounts of energy released from the Sun

Model Plausibility Ratings
If you are pretty sure a model might be true, that means the plausibility is high—7, 8, or 9 on the scale. If you are pretty sure a model is false, that means the plausibility is low—1, 2, or 3.
Model Plausibility Ratings:Causes of Current Climate Change
Model A: Humans are the cause of current climate change.
Model B: Increasing amounts of energy from the sun are the cause of
current climate change.
